in reply to Moores Law, Perl and the future
I got as far as:
And this is a process which will continue into the future with the upcoming Quantum Computer systems, a version of which sporting 128 Qubits is already available on the market.
and then realised that you are fool enough to believe hype like this garbage. Despite that no one has seen it do anything and that no reputable quantum physicist believes that their description makes any sense at all.
Indeed, it is believed that the whole thing is a scam based on a few theoretical ideas and terms stolen from someone elses published work that has been misinterpreted, misconstrued and misquoted:
Umesh Vazirani, a professor at UC Berkeley and one of the founders of quantum complexity theory, made the following criticism:"Their claimed speedup over classical algorithms appears to be based on a misunderstanding of a paper my colleagues van Dam, Mosca and I wrote on "The power of adiabatic quantum computing." That speed up unfortunately does not hold in the setting at hand, and therefore D-Wave's "quantum computer" even if it turns out to be a true quantum computer, and even if it can be scaled to thousands of qubits, would likely not be more powerful than a cell phone."
Their modus operadi seem to be to take some obscure but cool piece of theory, hype the shit out of it on the web, blag their way into getting a few (or a lot of) millions in venture capital before quietly folding the company after a few years, having paid themselves huge salaries and acquired lots of material goods.
Now, let me see:
Yep. You seem to be following their recipe exactly -- I hope you you didn't pay too much for their "How To Make $Billion" e-book.
